Use Means, but Trust in God

Why did God set his saving love on his people before the foundation of the world? So that we might praise the glory of his sovereign grace. 

David Mathis | Did Jesus endure the cross for his joy or despite it? The answer takes us to the heart of Jesus’s unusually human joy, and ours. 

It’s one thing to know God is sovereign; it’s another to know just how far his sovereignty extends and the purposes for which he wields it. 

God is glorified when we turn away from ourselves to him in the confidence that he will provide the help we need. 

All the omnipotent energy that drives the heart of God to pursue his own glory also drives him to satisfy the hearts of those who seek their joy in him.
